public health uses or to applications using dry formulations.1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.2. Use the largest droplet size consistent with good pest control Small droplets are more prone to spray drift and can be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from tlairstream as much as possible, and by avoiding excessive spray boom pressure..Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed.The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory below:

AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY[This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements].

INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZEThe most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply MEDIUM droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control.Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature andHumidity, and Temperature Inversions).

CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZEVolume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed,use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.Nozzle Orientation - Small droplets are more prone to spray drift and can be minimized by several factors including orienting nozzles away from the airstream. Orienting nozzles so that the spray isreleased parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.

2

Amendment, /ise the environmental hazard statementDRAFT June 13, 2011

Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Considerusing low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift.

BOOM LENGTHFor some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.

APPLICATION HEIGHTApplications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest heightthat is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.

SWATH ADJUSTMENTWhen applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator should compensate for this displacementby adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.).

WINDDrift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 -10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should beavoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiarwith local wind patterns andhow they affect spray drift.

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITYWhen making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are bothhot and dry.

TEMPERATURE INVERSIONSApplications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remainin a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasingtemperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can beindicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers andmoves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.

SENSITIVE AREASThe pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species,non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).

COMPATIBILITYASSAIL 70WP Insecticide, when diluted with an equal volume of water, is physically compatible with a wide range of commonly used spray products, but the full range of compatibilitiesunder local conditions is not known. Therefore, it is essential that before using ASSAIL 70WP Insecticide in any tank mixture the compatibility of the mixture be established. Add a smallamount of this product to an equal volume of water in a small container and then add the other pesticide or spray product and mix thoroughly. DO NOT USE MIXTURES THAT CURDLE,PRECIPITATE, OR GREASE. FOR BEST RESULTS, SPRAY MIXTURES SHOULD BE USED IMMEDIATELY AFTER MIXING WITH ADEQUATE AGITATION.

DIRECTIONS FOR CHEMIGATIONInstructionsFor chemigation use only on cranberries and on potatoes after foliage has emerged and only through overhead sprinkler irrigation systems.

Apply this product only through overhead sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move, side (wheel) roll, solid set, or hand move irrigation systems after potato foliage hasemerged. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniformdistribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts. A personknowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustmentsshould the need arise.The overhead sprinkler chemigation system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent watersource contamination from back flow. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock toprevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls toautomatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pumpmotor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump(e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed for materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public watersystems are in place. Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularlyserves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone,back flow preventer (RPZ) of the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water systemshould be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the flow outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflowrim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow offluid back toward the injection. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump andconnected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The system must containfunctional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressuredecreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump)effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

Application InstructionsObserve the requirements in the System Requirements section above. Apply ASSAIL 70 WP Insecticide only through systems containing anti-siphon and check valves designed to

Maintain a gentle continuous agitation in mix tank during mixing and application to assure a uniform suspension. Greater accuracy in calibration and distribution will be achieved byinjecting a larger volume of a more dilute suspension per unit time. Application of more than recommended quantities of irrigation water per acre may result in decreased productperformance. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift, when system connections or fittings leak, when nozzles do not provide uniform distribution or when lines containing the productcannot be flushed and must be dismantled and drained. In a center pivot system, block the nozzle set nearest the well/pivot/injection unit to prevent spray being applied to this area. Useof end guns which deliver uneven distribution of water is not recommended. Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable insect control may result.Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. ASSAIL 70 WP Insecticide may be applied in conjunction withchemically neutral liquid fertilizers. Application in conjunction with highly alkaline fertilizers, such as aqueous ammonia, may cause a degradation of the pesticide, resulting in reducedperformance and should be avoided.

Spray Preparation

Remove scale, pesticide residues, and other foreign matter from the chemical tank and entire injector system. Flush with clean water. Prepare a solution of ASSAIL 70 WP Insecticide ina mix tank. Fill the tank with yt or % the desired amount of water. Start mechanical or hydraulic agitation. Slowly add the required amount of ASSAIL 70 WP Insecticide and then theremaining volume of water.

Sprinkler Irrigation - Notes

Observe all System Requirements and Application Instructions above. Set sprinkler system to deliver a maximum of 0.2 inch of water per acre. Volumes of water higher than this mayreduce efficacy. Start sprinkler and then uniformly inject the solution of ASSAIL 70 WP Insecticide into the irrigation water line so as to deliver the desired rate per acre. The solution ofASSAIL 70 WP Insecticide should be injected with a positive displacement pump into the main line ahead of a right angle turn to insure adequate mixing. Retention of ASSAIL 70 WP Insecticidefoliage is necessary for optimum activity. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Where sprinkler distributed patterns do not overlap sufficiently,unacceptable insect control may result.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

ROW CROPSApply a minimum finished spray volume of 5 gallons per acre by air or 15 gallons per acre by ground unless otherwise directed under crop specific directions. For best results, it isimportant to obtain thorough and uniform spray coverage of the plant. For aerial application, select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets as indicated in nozzlemanufacturer's catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. The use of spray adjuvants, such as high quality non-ionic or silicone surfactants or methylated seed oils isrecommended to enhance coverage and plant uptake and may improve pest control in certain crops. Please see specific crop use directions. The addition of an adjuvant is recommendedfor all applications made to vegetables (except legumes) and to cotton when controlling whiteflies. The use of stickers is not recommended. Some adjuvants can cause adverse affects,such as spotting or bum to fruit or foliage. Select an adjuvant that will be safe for the target crop. Follow adjuvant use directions. Consult your local Extension Service, Crop Advisor orNippon Soda Co., Ltd. representative for additional information. Use higher dosage rates for heavy infestations or dense foliage. The specific length of residual control depends onenvironmental factors, plant growth, dosage rate, and degree of insect infestation. For foliar banded applications, determine the amount of chemical to use per acre by dividing the bandwidth by the row width and multiplying by the appropriate broadcast rate.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM) USE OF THIS PRODUCTASSAIL 70WP Insecticide has ovicidal, larvicidal, and adulticidal activity against many pests which can be effectively utilized in IPM programs. ASSAIL 70WP Insecticide has been shownto leave substantial populations of many beneficial insects and spiders after use. The lower rates allow for maximum beneficial survival and faster rebound of beneficial populations.Control of important pests coupled with retention of beneficial insects and spiders can offer significant benefits to those producers utilizing integrated pest management programs.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

Acetamiprid is the active ingredient in ASSAIL 70WP Insecticide. It is a member of a class of chemicals known as neonicotinoids and within the mode of action Group 4A.Rotating ASSAIL 70WP Insecticide with insecticides with a different mode of action (other than Group 4A insecticides) may delay or prevent development of resistance andcross-resistance to ASSAIL and other Group 4A insecticides. Avoid making more than two (2) consecutive applications of ASSAIL 70 WP Insecticide before rotating to analternative mode of action insecticide. Foliar applications of ASSAIL 70 WP Insecticide should be avoided on crops treated with a Group 4A seed treatment or soil-appliedinsecticide until a foliar application of a non-Group 4A insecticide (insecticide with a different mode of action) has been applied between these applications. The use ofASSAIL 70WP Insecticide should conform to the resistance management guidelines established in your area. Consult your agricultural advisor, PCA, university or extensionpersonnel for recommended pest and resistance management practices for your area. Use recommended IPM practices in your pest management system. Use of ratesbelow the minimum rate listed for each particular insect pest may enhance the development of resistance and should be avoided.

To prevent development of insect resistance, do not apply ASSAIL 70 WP Insecticide to crops listed on this label when grown in a greenhouse.

SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS

Aphid species may differ in susceptibility to this product. If youare unsure of the aphid species present and its susceptibility,use the higher rates within the listed rate range.

Begin applications when treatment thresholds have beenreached.Thorough coverage is important to obtain optimum control.

Begin applications when whitefly adults appear prior todevelopment of nymphs. Do not wait until heavy populationshave become established. For whitefly control, ASSAIL 70WPInsecticide should be applied in a minimum finished sprayvolume of 5 gallons per acre by aircraft and 15 gallons per acreby ground equipment. Make applications on a minimum 7 dayinterval as long as pest pressure continues.Use the high rates within the listed rate range under heavypressure.Whiteflies have shown a tendency to develop resistance. Forresistance management purposes, alternating applications ofdifferent chemical classes reduces the potential for resistancedevelopment.After cutout, foliar absorption of Assail may be affected,reducing aphid and whitefly control.
